A woman has shared a post to MumsNet asking for advice after her husband suggested a three-month trial separation after over 20 years of marriage. The woman was left devastated by her husband's request as she said: "I want him to stay as I love him with all my heart."
The partner has suggested he rent a house nearby as the pair have children together to continue regular contact with them. In the post, the woman explains that her husband said that "he needs to think about what his future life looks like".
In the post she wrote: "His idea is to have three month's living the alternative (no plans to see other people though) and then come together to see what he prefers." She asked for the advice of other mums as to whether this was a "normal request". You can get more stories like this by subscribing to our newsletters here.
